Bands We Love: Population U

Based in Anaheim, rock n’ roll band Population U are competing in the Battle for Vans Warped Tour. The band is composed of Carlos (vocals/guitar), Juan (guitar/vocals), Julio (drums) and Paco (bass/vocals). Their mission is to bring fun catchy melodies back to the mainstream and to win their spot on the Vans Warped Tour.

Population U, a band made up of siblings and cousins, started out as a punk band but soon they started to meddle with other genres. Their name started as a humorous reference to the comedic film Dodgeball, but their name can also represent this generation’s obsession with social validation and keeping up with the latest gadgets. As a band, getting noticed by people/venues has been a challenge for them, but they’re sure that with their hard work and dedication that one day they will have a career in doing what they love the most; creating and playing music.
